Samsung patents 5G method to manage data delays from connected devices

This filing describes a method for 5G or 6G networks to handle data sent from a phone or computer that is connected to another device, such as a hotspot or router. The network checks if the connected device causes timing variations, known as jitter, and adjusts how it schedules data uploads to keep the connection stable.

Why it mattersIt improves the reliability of mobile data connections when multiple devices share a single internet link, which is common for travelers or remote workers.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. The present disclosure provides a method of a session management function (SMF) entity for supporting uplink scheduling of a terminal using a tethered device, the method comprising the operations of: receiving a protocol data unit (PDU) session-related session management (SM) message including at least one of a tethered device support indicator and tethered device jitter information from an access management function (AMF) entity; and in response to the PDU session-related SM message, transmitting N 2 SM information including at least one of the tethered device support indicator and the tethered device jitter information to an access node (AN) through the AMF entity.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a session management function (SMF) entity supporting uplink scheduling of a terminal using a tethered device, the method comprising: receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, a protocol data unit (PDU) session-related session management (SM) message including at least one of a tethered device support indication and tethered device jitter information; and in response to the PDU session-related SM message, transmitting, to an access network (AN) via the AMF entity, N2 SM information including at least one of the tethered device support indication and the tethered device jitter information.
